This page provides information on the various accessories that have been verified to work on the BeagleBone Black.
This is not a comprehensive list, but if you know that one does work or does not work and is not listed here, please contact Support and let us know.

If you plan to use capes or add your own circuitry, higher amperage may be required.
Make sure that you have a grounded connection. This can be the USB cable or the HDMI cable.

The connector on the board is a miniUSB type B female connector and requires a miniUSB type B male mating connector.
The original BeagleBone uses a miniUSB type AB connector.

Standard FTDI Cable

Pin 1 on the cable is the black wire and connects to pin 1 on the board, the pin with the white dot next to it.

One is from *Adafruit. This is a Prolific chipset based cable. Some people have reported issues with the cable causing some issues with data corruption. You experience may vary. You will need to install the Prolific drivers. Those can be downloaded from Adafruit.
